  • Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East
    IE14.12 ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Updates on Improvements to the Bike Lanes on Dundas Street East Date: June 24, 2020 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: General Manager, Transportation Services Wards: Wards 13 and 14 SUMMARY On May 28, 2020, City Council adopted CC21.20 Cycling Network Plan Installations: Bloor West Bikeway Extension & ActiveTO Projects and requested Transportation Services to report to the July 9, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the status of previous requests to improve the bike lanes on Dundas Street East. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on these requests. Bicycle lanes on Dundas Street East have long provided a vital east/west cycling connection. In the 2001 Toronto Bike Plan, Dundas Street East was identified as a candidate for bicycle lanes from River Street to Kingston Road and in 2003, bicycle lanes were installed on the section of Dundas Street East from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road. The Dundas Street East bicycle lanes are connected to the protected bicycle lanes on Woodbine Avenue via contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue. Transportation Services has installed a number of safety improvements along Dundas Street East including pavement marking enhancements along the corridor and intersection improvements at Dundas Street East and Jones Avenue. In June 2020, as part of the ActiveTO program, temporary protected bicycle lanes (cycle tracks) were installed to extend the Dundas Street East bicycle lanes by 1 kilometre (km) from their end point just east of Broadview, west to Sackville Street to provide a safe connection through the Broadview intersection and over the Don Valley Parkway bridge.

  • Toronto Tunnels Plan
    TORONTO TUNNELS PLAN 1 Toronto Tunnels Plan After reviewing traffic counts and traffic patterns throughout the City of Toronto using the latest traffic counts from the City’s transportation department, it clearly shows that the west end of the city has higher traffic levels and is prone to gridlock more than the east end. For example, traffic volumes on Highway 401 at Keele Street reach a peak of approximately 400,000 vehicles per day while volumes on Highway 401 in Scarborough is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day. Similarly, traffic volumes on the Gardiner Expressway at Dunn Avenue is approximately 200,000 vehicles per day while volume at Cherry Street at the expressway’s east end is approximately 85,000 vehicles per day. Also, there is a lack of a continuous north-south expressway between Highway 401 and the Gardiner Expressway between Highway 427 and the Don Valley Parkway, which is a width of nearly 20 kilometres. The only exception is the incomplete Allen Expressway which terminates at Eglinton Avenue. This area is served by a 2 network of local streets which are very narrow and often congested. Similarly, Highway 400 turns into Black Creek Drive south of Highway 401, which is a heavily congested arterial road which connects into very narrow local streets south of Eglinton Avenue. The area bounded by Highway 401 in the north, Highway 427 in the west, the Don Valley Parkway in the east and the Gardiner Expressway in the south is entirely made up of narrow four-lane local streets which are heavily congested and serving local businesses.

Ottawa, 2007 Canadian Historical Association Canada s Ethnic Group Series Booklet No. 31 A HISTORY OF ETHNIC ENCLAVES IN CANADA INTRODUCTION When we walk through Canadian cities nowadays, it is clear that ethnicity and multicul- turalism are alive and well in many neighbourhoods from coast to coast. One need only amble through the gates on Fisgard Street in Victoria or in Gastown in Vancouver to encounter vibrant Chinatowns, or through small roadways just off Dundas Street in Toronto to happen upon enclaves of Portuguese from the Azores; if you wander through the Côte- des-Neiges district in Montreal you will discover a polyethnic world - Kazakhis, Russian Jews, Vietnamese, Sri Lankans or Haitians among many other groups - while parts ot Dartmouth are home to an old African-Canadian community.

August 17, 2006 City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services 100 Queen Street West, 2nd Floor Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Dear Brian Gallaugher: This study was undertaken for the Toronto Island Community Association with funding assistance provided by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division. It builds on the ideas and policy initiatives of the Island Principles drafted in 2002 by a group of the Toronto Island residents and City staff. The tangible and intangible attributes of Toronto Island constitute a significant landscape of historical and cultural value. This study recommends that a framework of a cultural heritage landscape be established as the most appropriate method for recognizing and maintaining this cultural resource for the City of Toronto. Under the Planning Act, the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement defines a cultural landscape as: a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human activities and is valued by a community. It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites and natural elements, which together form a significant type of heritage form, distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts .. Currently, the only mechanism the City of Toronto has For the protection of this type of resource is through the application of a Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act.
